After the reveal of the latest LEGO BrickHeadz Ariel & Ursula (41623) dual-set, we now have official confirmation on the next Disney-inspired set to watch out for this August. The LEGO US Catalog for the 2nd half of 2018 is now available online and with it, comes a teaser for the LEGO BrickHeadz Mickey (41624) and Minnie Mouse (41625).
Other than featuring Mickey and Minnie in their chibi LEGO versions, we also get to see once again Elsa, Anna & Olaf, and Hermione, Harry & Hedwig. All of them are slated for an August release, to be followed by five more LEGO BrickHeadz sets in October. The LEGO BrickHeadz Mickey (41624) and Minnie Mouse (41625) sets are expected to retail for $10 each, with images of these sets making rounds already over the internet.
So what do you think about these latest BrickHeadz collectibles? Do you plan to get them this August? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
If you’ve already seen Ready Player One, then I’m pretty sure that you didn’t miss that big fight scene including the iconic Iron Giant – that endearing piece of 90s pop culture produced by Warner Bros. Back then, the innocent charm and appeal of the mysterious space robot quickly caught the hearts of children and adults alike. Up until now, the Iron Giant has remained a cult classic among fans, and has even caught the attention of devoted AFOLs and builders in recent years. You may, or may not be happy on how Ready Player One referenced the beloved metal robot (with some reviews criticizing the fact that Spielberg’s recent film only exploited these pop culture symbols), but seeing a brick-built version of the Iron Giant will surely put a smile on any AFOL’s face.
Back in 2016, in honor of this award-winning classic animation, I featured a particular LEGO Ideas Iron Giant project by BrettCUV that renders his love for the gentle giant using the best medium that we ever have – in LEGO bricks. I love the idea of having a LEGO Iron Giant set, and together with other 10K supporters we rallied to support this project. Unfortunately, it never passed through the scrutiny of the LEGO Ideas Team during the Third 2016 LEGO Ideas Review Stage. Needless to say, the thought of recreating this piece of animation icon is something that I wanted to see for a very long time.
If you’re one of those brick-building folks such as myself that couldn’t hardly wait to see a LEGO Iron Giant become a reality, then you might be glad to know that Build Better Bricks (or B3) gives you the opportunity to build this intergalactic space robot. Master builders Sean and Tyler now offer their latest creation – a 818-piece, custom LEGO Iron Giant. Check out the video below.
B3’s custom LEGO Iron Giant is expertly built using more than 818 LEGO pieces that are predominantly gray in color. Standing in at an impressive 13 inches tall, this highly articulated MOC comes with a total 23 points of articulation, allowing for an impressive number of movement and a variety of poses.
You can even add an optional Superman ‘S’ sign on his chest as you can see from the film. Alternatively, he can also turn out to be a seriously overpowered weapon of destruction especially with his blaster on hand.
This custom LEGO Iron Giant can be a hero……or a foe.
The 800-plus pieces needed to build this custom LEGO Iron Giant is estimated to cost at around $80 – a fair deal if ever LEGO will turn this to an actual set. Choosing the parts needed for this version of the Iron Giant, as well as any other B3 projects, are carefully selected to ensure that they are readily available when needed. Couple it with B3’s creatively fun building instructions, then making your own custom LEGO Iron Giant is a snap. The building instruction to make this project comes in at 115 pages, available in digital, PDF format. Build Better Bricks is now offering these instructions for $12, and is quite a bargain already considering the size of this brick-built Iron Giant.
If you wish to make this set, just head over to B3’s website and check out how to buy the building instructions for this custom LEGO Iron Giant. Your purchase includes the building instructions itself, a parts list, and a handy Stud.io file that you easily import to Bricklink.
Now, I just need to figure out how to put that dent on his head. Happy building!
Following the official reveal of the LEGO BrickHeadz version of Ariel and Ursula from The Little Mermaid, we now have another official reveal of a Disney-themed BrickHeadz set based on the blockbuster film of 2013, Frozen. High-res images of the LEGO Disney BrickHeadz Elsa (41617) and Anna & Olaf (41618) sets are now also uploaded via LEGO’s servers which suggest that we’ll be seeing them listed in shop.LEGO.com any time soon.
The LEGO Disney BrickHeadz Elsa (41617) consists of 130 pieces and is expected to retail for $9.99, while the Anna & Olaf (41618) dual-set will come in at 201 pieces and will sell for $14.99. See their official HD images below.
LEGO has now uploaded, crisp and clear official HD images via its servers of its next Disney-inspired LEGO BrickHeadz offering. The LEGO Disney BrickHeadz Ariel and Ursula (41623) features the sea-dwelling characters from Disney’s 1989 The Little Mermaid. The set features a dual-pack of Ariel and Ursula coming in at 361 pieces. This new LEGO BrickHeadz set is now listed on Brickmerge, though its availability and costing is not yet known. Check out the images below.
After getting our first teaser poster, the much awaited The LEGO Movie 2 trailer has been finally dropped by LEGO and Warner Animation Group. In the trailer, we are shown a somewhat post-apocalyptic Bricksburg following the tragic events of Taco Tuesday where Duplo-like creatures from outer space went on a rampage on the city, leaving the place in ruins. Check out the trailer below.
Based on an article/synopsis from Deadline, the LEGO Movie 2 will set our brick heroes five years in the future following the events of Taco Tuesday where the first film ended. This new threat of LEGO Duplo invaders has plunged Bricksburg into chaos, leaving the once booming and cheery town into a Mad Max-kind of living. As Lucy (Wyldstyle) puts it, this hardened them to survive the tough living conditions they’re in, well except for good ‘ol Emmet who still managed to be overly optimistic.
Eventually, it looks like Emmet is off to another mission not just to restore harmony to their brick-built universe but also to save his friends from the hands of a new character called Sweet Mayhem. I’m not quite sure if her character will eventually turn out to be detrimental to Emmet and to the rest of the team, since it seems that the real objective is to fend off the overpowered LEGO Duplo creatures. We just have to wait and find out.
Deadline also mentions that The LEGO Movie 2 will bring Emmet, Lucy, Batman and the rest of the gang to faraway, and unexplored musical worlds in order to discover the means to defeat the towering LEGO Duplo aggressors. We have to wait and see how this ‘musical’ aspect of the film will be reconciled with the somewhat depressing mood at the beginning of the film following the destruction of Bricksburg. Furthermore, being a film that combines all the best of what LEGO has to offer, I wouldn’t be surprised if LEGO will thrown in a LEGO Worlds-like environment where the S-Star (I hope I spelled it right) system can be portrayed.
Another thing that I am excited about is the new characters that the sequel will introduce: we have the Friends-inspired Sweet Mayhem, and the yet-to-be revealed Ice Cream Cone and Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi. We also get a glimpse of a new, and fiercer Unikitty which for me will look great as an actual LEGO set. Benny also had a reboot with a new cyborg-like arm, as well as Batman in a yet another new costume.
Other than hoping to see this version of Unikitty being part of an upcoming LEGO set, it would be great to have this modified version of Emmet’s house-turned-spaceship into another TLM2 set.
The LEGO Movie 2 is slated to hit theaters on February 9, and voiced by the same awesome artists from the first film such as Chris Pratt (Emmet), Elizabeth Banks (Lucy), and Will Arnett (LEGO Batman) among others. So what do you think? What other potential LEGO sets can you spot in this trailer? What twists and turns does LEGO and Warner Animation Group has in store for The LEGO Movie 2? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.
LEGO Movies have proven themselves to be big sellers on the big screen, so while the Warner Animation Group might continue to bring out LEGO-themed releases for home video, they’re also hard at work with films that’ll go to cinemas, like a sequel to 2014’s LEGO Movie, set for 2019. That may be next year, but already LEGO and WAG are busy promoting the movie with the fandom built up from watching the original, LEGO Batman, and LEGO Ninjago in theaters. Last month we even got a glimpse of the official logo for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.
Now, as if following the standard LEGO brick-building process, we have a look at the first teaser poster for the film, with the title logo tacked onto the bottom. The image is of the LEGO Movie heroes Emmet, Wyldstyle and LEGO Batman, reflected on the visor of a new character.
Said new character is named Sweet Mayhem according to some entertainment news sources online, and she is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz. But is she friend or foe? The fact that she’s a character in a spacesuit with clear-part wings and arm cannon makes her alignment hard to tell for sure.
But thankfully we might not be up in the air for long. WAG is set to release the first teaser for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part on Monday, June 5. Perhaps we’ll learn what the deal is up with Sweet Mayhem gal. For now, just watch this space.
With a new film set in JK Rowling’s Wizarding World coming towards the end of this year, Warner Bros. is ramping up the promotion of this seminal modern fantasy genre with plenty of merchandising collaborations. Among them is LEGO with its numerous Fantastic Beasts and Harry Pottersets lined up.
One of the sets announced for the Fantastic Beastslineupwas one for a prominent (but inanimate) object present in the first film from 2016: the “bigger on the inside” suitcase of wizard magi-zoologist Newt Scamander. After almost two months of waiting, we finally have images of this LEGO set.
Thanks should be extended to LEGO Denmark, which has released a catalog detailing sets coming in the latter half of 2018, including Newt’s Suitcase (set number 75952) for the Fantastic Beasts wave in the larger Wizarding World sub-brand. It’s a location play-set that comes in a compact luggage carrying form.
But take Newt’s Suitcase (75952) apart and you can reconstruct the interior which is practically a menagerie/animal shelter for all the magical creatures found and cared for by Newt. In this set you can find the brick versions of the Erumpent, Occamy, the Thunderbird and that mischievous Niffler. Newt himself is accompanied by his Muggle buddy Jacob and MACUSA witch-sisters Tina and Queenie, all as minifigures.
According to the Danish LEGO catalog, set 75952 of LEGO’s Wizarding World series will cost 449,00 krone, or just about $70.53 once it comes stateside. Once again, we’ll have to wait until we get a date for its US release.
UPDATE: It looks like LEGO has revealed this a little too soon since the link to their digital Danish catalog is no longer working.
A couple of weeks ago, LEGO teasedvia social media on its next LEGO BrickHeadz set dedicated to one of the 80’s most beloved, ghost-busting movie franchise. The LEGO BrickHeadz Ghostbusters Peter Venkman and Slimer (41622) dual pack is really happening, and LEGO has dropped several high-res images for us to enjoy.
Coming in at 228 pieces, this dual-pack set is expected to retail for $19.99, and since these official images are already uploaded via LEGO’s servers, it will just be a matter of time before we get to see them on store shelves and at shop.LEGO.com, most probably in August.
These images also finally answered the nagging question of how to make Slimer ‘float’ as seen in LEGO’s initial post. Apparently, the effect is accomplished using a trans-clear 2×2 brick mounted on the usual BrickHeadz baseplate. Meanwhile, we see a slimed Dr. Peter Venkman in his classic Ghostbuster uniform, complete with his nameplate, Ghostbuster logo, and iconic Proton pack.
We already saw one of the LEGO Wizarding World sets unveiled at the New York Toy Fair earlier in February, and with LEGO releasing a bunch of official images and product descriptions from this new theme, we are still missing, however, on the sets’ box art images. Thankfully, we now have an idea on how they look like thanks to the images shared by The Brick Fan and Promobricks.
Frankly, they turned out to be quite well, with its distinct dark blue and white colors which adds on the sets its magical vibe. These LEGO Wizarding World sets are slated to be released sometime in August, alongside their LEGO BrickHeadzcounterparts. So I guess we still have some time to fill in those piggy banks. But for now, let’s check out their respective box art images below.
This piece of news have been floating around for quite some time, but I’m a bit surprised that it has not been receiving much attention as compared to other LEGO Star Wars collectible minifigs before, such as from The Last Jedi’sDJ (40298) minifigure, and Rogue One’sScarif Stormtrooper (40176) and R3-M2 (40268).
Thanks to a tip from Hoth Bricks, we now know what will be the next LEGO Star Wars collectible minifigs from the Han Solo spin-off. And similar to Rogue One, we have two minifigures lined up as the next promotional polybags: the LEGO Star Wars Solo Kessel Mine Worker (40299) and Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300).
The above images of these polybags were spotted over at Bricklink, with sellers located somewhere in Europe. However, what is puzzling about these polybags and those that came before them, was that they were previously Toys R Us exclusives when they were first offered as promotional freebies. Now considering TRU’s eventual demise, we’re not quite sure on how LEGO will distribute them later on. This situation echoes the same concern of the recently rumored Toys R Us 2018 Bricktober minifigures that Brian recently reported on, which includes a highly wanted collection of never-before-seen Infinity War and Harry Potter figures.
In any case, we’re still hopeful that LEGO will find a way for these collectible LEGO Star Wars minifigures to hit the market, and we may even have the Kessel Mine Worker and Han Solo in Mudtrooper uniform available in some LEGO stores, just like what happened with the LEGO Star Wars DJ (40298) minifigure. I guess for now, we just have to wait.
